Raising the binoculars again and again, convinced that he was not mistaken, the enemy had indeed withdrawn, so he hurriedly said to the herald beside him: "Go quickly, inform Governor Luan, just say that the situation has changed, please come quickly." ”

In just half an hour, Luan Xiaochen appeared under the city tower on a bicycle, and after listening to He Guang's report, he also raised the telescope and saw the retreat of the Siamese army.

"How long have they been doing this?" Putting down the binoculars, Luan Xiaochen was also puzzled.

"Report to the governor, they began to withdraw their troops half an hour ago, I calculated, the number of troops they have withdrawn has exceeded 10,000 now, and it depends on their posture to continue to retreat." He Guang reported with a questioning face.

"So, did they really withdraw their troops? But why? Luan Xiaochen couldn't figure it out, and frowned.

"This... I don't know. He Guang replied very honestly, he also wanted to ask Governor Xiaoluan why.

Knowing that it was useless to ask He Guang, after thinking about it, he said to the correspondent beside him: "Go and turn on the radio immediately, contact the sixth young master, and report the situation here truthfully." ”

The waiting time was always long, and in the open ground five miles below the castle tower, the Siamese army was still withdrawing. Judging from this formation alone, they should be playing for real. But this is even more incomprehensible, but the attack was blocked for a while, and the 100,000 army only killed a few thousand people, so why didn't it fight? Then the will to fight of this army is too bad.

"Report, the sixth young master called back." The correspondent hurried all the way to Luan Xiaochen and delivered a telegram to him.

Luan Xiaochen, who was puzzled, hurriedly picked up the telegram, and after just a few cursory glances, he couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Okay, okay, haha, hahaha." ”

He Guang, who was laughing out loud, was even more confused, "Governor Luan, what did the sixth young master say?" ”

"Here, see for yourself." At this moment, Luan Xiaochen was in a good mood, and he sent the telegram to He Guang very casually. After the latter looked at it once, he stared at the big eyes of disbelief, and couldn't help but look at it again, and then said with a look of surprise, "The sixth young master said that the mercenaries attacked Udon City, defeated the 50,000 Siamese troops there, and burned the enemy's grain and grass?" This... That's too powerful, but where are the mercenaries there? ”

This question is also something that Luan Xiaochen can't think clearly, but he won't show it in front of his subordinates. As a superior, it is appropriate to remain mysterious in front of his subordinates, so he smiled and said: "This problem is not something you should think about, you just need to know that Vientiane City is safe." ”

"Yes." He Guang also knew that he could not be fully trusted by the mercenaries now, and there were some things that could not be asked. But now that Vientiane City is safe, and the Siamese soldiers are really withdrawing, he wondered if he could fight and take advantage of it, so he said his thoughts.

Hearing He Guang say that he was going out to fight the water dogs, Luan Xiaochen shook his head after thinking about it again and again, "We have too few fighters, it will inevitably be dangerous if we go out, once the enemy comes back, the consequences will be even more unimaginable, so don't take risks." ”

The defenders of the city were only one cold front company, two auxiliary battalions and 10,000 Lao mercenaries. If you really kill it, only Leng Feng's auxiliaries can take some advantage, but in the end, the number is too small, rather than taking risks and getting some big gains, it is better to settle down, anyway, there will be battles in the future.

This is Lao Cheng's words to seek the country, Luan Xiaochen made such a decision, firstly, because the troops in his hands are really limited, and it is okay to defend the city, and it is not enough to rush out and kill the enemy. Second, the Sixth Young Master's telegram did not let them attack, so the Sixth Young Master should also mean this, so they watched the departure of the Siamese army like this. Of course, there is a more important reason, defending Vientiane City was originally a task, and it was enough to be able to complete this task, what he had in his hands was just a standing garrison, not an invincible main force.

Five miles below the city, one after another Siamese military camps drove away, and Fan Yuhai gathered in one place with 5,000 cavalry early and watched this scene indifferently.

If you look closely, you can find that they have already packed up everything, and once something unknowable happens, I am afraid that they will not only not break off, but will rush out as soon as possible and escape without a trace.

That's exactly the case, don't look at what Fan Yuhai said beautifully, what he will break off, but once the gate of Vientiane City is opened, he will definitely be the first to escape with the cavalry, anyway, they can run faster on horseback than the infantry.

The nerves have been tense very tightly, and by the time it gets dark, all the Siamese troops have already retreated and left here, and there is still no movement in Vientiane City, which also makes Fan Yuhai breathe a long sigh of relief, "Okay, everything is okay now, and we have to leave too." ”

Saying this as if talking to himself, Fan Yuhai's gaze swept around for a moment, he knew that when he came back after leaving this time, he didn't know what year and month he would have to wait, maybe he would never come back.

The Siamese army left from the Vientiane City like a long line, and nearly 100,000 troops formed a lineup of more than ten miles.

On their way back to Udon Thani, the mercenaries led by Leng Song had already been ambushed in the dense forests on both sides of the road. Everyone had a good night's sleep during the day, and now everyone was in good spirits, with steel guns in their hands, and their eyes were staring at the retreating Siamese army from far and near.

Godan still has some skills, although he is evacuating, but he is not so flustered, and the thousand-man team is well connected one after another, and there are no obvious weaknesses in sight. Once one of the thousand-man teams is attacked, presumably the other thousand-man teams can immediately support, and the loss of being raided can indeed be reduced to the greatest extent by taking care of each other.

Ordinary armies are naturally helpless against such a formation, but unfortunately, this time they encountered mercenaries, and they were even more prepared and mercenaries with the power of victory, and they lost first in terms of morale and preparation.

What was the war fought in ancient times? Morale, preparation naturally accounts for a very important proportion, now the mercenaries have an advantage in these aspects, before the battle is fought, they have already won half of the first, in addition to the night battle is their strength, this battle is not difficult to win, the only thing to see is how much results can be achieved.

It seems that he has long known that the retreating formation of the Siamese army will be orderly, and the division commander Leng Song, who is the commander of this characteristic, has already made a countermeasure, that is, to divide the troops.

Don't you have to look after each other? Didn't you strike at a location and the nearby army would come to the rescue? Good! What are you going to do if I suddenly strike you a dozen points? Can you really take care of each other?

In this way, in the dense forest beside the road, the eight auxiliary battalions each took the company as the combat unit, and at this time thirty-two small units were divided into ambushes at different locations. The three cold front battalions of the 1st Regiment became mobile units, and where the fighting was fierce, they would send reinforcements. The three battalions were divided into 36 platoons in platoons, and they were ambushed in the surrounding areas of the auxiliary corps, so as to be foolproof.

When the mercenaries also set up the ambush terrain in a long snake formation, the enemy finally appeared. According to the previous plan, the mercenaries did not start immediately, but let go of the opponent's vanguard, and once the opponent's Chinese army had completely entered the area, it was time for them to carry out a segmented strike.

In the dense forest area, the most unbearable thing is the mosquitoes in the forest, they are not only numerous, but also big, with a faint toxin, once bitten, it will not take a while to get a big bag, and it is extremely itchy.

In such an environment, it is a matter of will to try to ambush and stay here for a long time. It is said that these mosquitoes will not consider whether they will bite you because of your different skin color and different war intentions, but everything that has flesh and blood, even wild beasts, is a good meal and food in their eyes.

Just after an hour or so of ambushing here, all the mercenaries had all sorts of big bags on their faces. If they hadn't brought gloves in advance, I'm afraid that their hands would have been covered with red envelopes now, which would greatly affect the accuracy of shooting.

"Hold on, hold on!" This firm voice sounded in the heart of every mercenary.

Leng Feng is because he doesn't want to be underestimated by the auxiliaries, so he must persevere. Besides, they don't know how many times they have carried out training like this, although their faces are itchy, but it is not that they can't bear it, but the test of will is relatively demanding.

The auxiliaries are also persistent, they want to have a better performance, and then join the cold front. Before the war, Division Commander Leng Song said that after this battle, those who have made meritorious contributions and performed well will have the opportunity to participate in the assessment of entering Leng Feng, and at this point, the sixth young master has also agreed, and the Political Department has been ready to review them.

This is an opportunity to join the cold front. This is the wish of almost all the auxiliaries, in order to meet this requirement, in order to be able to return home, in order to prove that they are the strongest young people in the first place, what is it to be bitten by mosquitoes? Persistence and persistence are enough.

As I said earlier, mosquitoes will not target a single person to bite, and while the mercenaries are suffering from this inhuman bite, the Siamese army walking on the main road next to the dense forest is also suffering from this kind of bite, the difference is that the farther away from the dense forest, the chance of being bitten is much smaller.

"Oh, these damn mosquitoes, they bite me, it hurts, it itches."
